I then open the .eps file <i>from within TeXShop </i>(File->Open->mygraphic.eps). (Herb Shultz told me about this years ago, and I thought he was kidding.) TeXShop turns the eps into a very nicely bounded pdf. and shows you the PDF (sometimes at a large magnification.) I then put the file in the LaTeX source as</div><div><br></div><div>\begin{center}</div><div>\includegraphics{mygraphic} %note: NO EXTENSION</div><div>\end{center}</div><div><br></div><div>and it works like a charm.</div><div><br></div><div>Hope this helps.</div><div><br></div><div>David Derbes</div><div>U of Chicago Laboratory Schools</div><div><br><div><div>On Oct 2, 2011, at 9:12 PM, Luci Ellis wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div><br>On 03/10/2011, at 12:30 PM, Murray Eisenberg <<a href="mailto:murrayeisenberg@gmail.com">murrayeisenberg@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br><br><blockquote type="cite">How in TeXShop (2.43) do I go about getting an included .eps or .pdf file in the pdf output when I typeset a LaTeX source file?<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">I have<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"> \usepackage[dvips]{graphics}<br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote><blockquote type="cite">in the preamble.

I find that the PDFs Mathematica creates are sometimes too large and a bit flaky. <br><br>Two other things to try are the scale option in \includegraphics, and changing the Printing Environment or Screen Environment in Mathematica to match each other. PDF export uses the Printing Environment.<br><br>Hope that helps.<br><br>Luci<br><br><blockquote type="cite"><br></blockquote>----------- Please Consult the Following Before Posting -----------<br>TeX FAQ: <a href="http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq">http://www.tex.ac.uk/faq</a><br>List Reminders and Etiquette: <a href="http://email.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/">http://email.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/</a><br>List Archive: <a href="http://tug.org/pipermail/macostex-archives/">http://tug.org/pipermail/macostex-archives/</a><br>TeX on Mac OS X Website: <a href="http://mactex-wiki.tug.org/">http://mactex-wiki.tug.org/</a><br>List Info: <a href="http://email.esm.psu.edu/mailman/listinfo/macosx-tex">http://email.esm.psu.edu/mailman/listinfo/macosx-tex</a><br><br></div></blockquote></div><br></div></body></html>
